The following is the continuation of the previous chapter.
Freedom not reporting
The leader of Anti-Abe Media bias parallel with Asahi is NHK.
Regarding the Kake problem, July, the Diet closing in the house review was a few times. Mr. Maekawa Kihei of former MEXT secretary-general, Mr. Kato Moriyuki of former Ehime prefectural governor, Mr. Hara Eiji of the National Strategy Special Zone working group etc. they testified.
Since NHK is ‘The TV station of the citizens’, it live broadcasted testimonies of these witnesses in examination during the closure.
I usually hardly see NHK, but I watched it at this time.
It turned out that Mr. Maekawa's claim was infinitely doubtful, in contrast Mr. Kato's argument was clear and persuasive in facts.
It was also very clear that the essence of the Kake Gakuen problem is in regulatory reform that breaks down the rock regulations.
However, what surprised me is that Mr. Kato's and Hara's remarks were almost ignored in each news program.
According to a survey of the Japan Peace Studies Institute general incorporated association, from July 10 to the following day Kato and his colleagues testified, each station covered the Kake problem at 8 hours 44 minutes 59 seconds.
Among them, 2 hours 33 minutes 46 seconds is Maekawa saying, while Kato's remark is 6 minutes 1 second, Hara's remark is only 2 minutes 35 seconds.
Kato's remarks reported by NHK is only 3.9% of the total time, 0.3% in the case of TBS mentioned at the beginning.
The talk and variety show of each station had devoted almost all of the broadcast time to Maekawa remarks and information based on it, but its existence seems to follow as if NHK, or after the tone of the Asahi newspaper it was as if to follow.
Mr. Kato criticized that his remarks are almost completely ignored, 'There is freedom not reporting in Japan.'
However, such ‘freedom’ is not legally permitted.
